i hope i won't see the 'lyd is tired' lyd plays in 2 categories whereas other player just play 1 category, cause him to lose the title' thingy here again. come on, this is the WC
^^Don't worry..^^ ..the motto for LYD will be (this is the least he could do): Finals Rd appearance, in both MD and XD events, or bust!..
Don't worry george, LYD is young and has an abundance of energy. It's not him, it's his partners that you should be concerned about. In MD, JJS is still recovering from the rigidity of his army camp. IN XD, LHJ still cannot decide if she is that nervous debutant or the world class veteran. LYD can only do so much. As you know doubles consists to 2 players, and one LYD is not enough.
Yeah, i'm sure he together with the Korean team will bring their popular 'tongkat ali ginseng' to Hyderabad
Feisty Chinese lady players Do you guys notice that, mainly, the Chinese girls are more dominant than the guys, or they usually nag their partners? He Hanbin is so subservient to Yu Yang. I always see He Hanbin apologizing to Yu Yang. Zhang Yawen nags the gentle giant Xie Zhongbo on court. Gao Ling was the one to calm down Zhen Bo if he's continuously comitting errors. Ma Jin, being so young, just follows ZB, but after a winning shot, my oh my, her yell shows that she's also feisty. These Chinese girls are very animated. They are not afraid to show their emotions in public. Maybe this is the reason why they're good players. On that note, my vote goes to HHB/YY. It's just my hunch.
LYD/LHJ wont play until third round........thats save them lots of energy..........but playing their first match against ZYL/XC is a bit risky........
Jeezes, if YY shouted at me, I'd be terrified. She'd definitely wear the pants in an XD pairing with me ZB does not come across as a good leader. Maybe GL has him too pu$$y whipped . With that dopey look plastered permanently on his face, would you take him seriously?
From the view of the draw ladder, I came to know that for LYD/LHJ to grab the 2009 title, they should get through all the CHN teams one by one: 1. XC/ZYL 2. XZB/ZYW 3. ZB/MJ 4. HHB/YY Enjoy
I HOPE ZHEGNBO/MAJIN WILL BE THE WINNER. BUT Lee Yong Dae & Lee Hyo Jung , AND XIEZHONGBO/ZHANGYAWEN ARE ALSO POSSIBLLY TO WIN.
As I predicted, the CHN ZB/MJ has just gone away. It's all due to the lack of experiences of Ma Jin in Big Event. On the contrary, the danes were too experienced to show all their abilities.
2nd BC Poll curse victim of the tourney.. ..the BC Poll jinx/curse is in full effect, folks!! 2nd victim to fall under the jinx....who's next??.. I told ya guys, early on, that MJ & ZB's time is not this yr and they won't win it...see post #27: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1209035#post1209035 Now, it's all LYD & LHJ's XD title to lose...Nova & Lilyana might meet them in the Final... ..you so fast ah??..
Once again, the one with the highest votes have lost . More surprising for me, all 3 of China's XD pairs have lost, at QF to boot. Let's see if the 2nd highest or 3rd highest voted pair will win the title this year.
